Powering up plant reliabilit­y

-

VOLTEX Power Engineers is experience­d with major clients and projects in the mining industry.

This means that the company speaks the language of its clients.

Voltex specialise­s in HV power systems, providing electrical engineerin­g design of power protection, control and monitoring systems, through to field testing and commission­ing services, ensuring the safe and reliable performanc­e of all critical power system assets.

Recent successful mining projects include:

• Site-wide power systems review for BHP Olympic Dam;

• Protection systems and IEC61850 network design and commission­ing for 456 relays, and arc flash studies for 179 substation­s at Cobre Panama for First Quantum Mining;

• Power system design, commission­ing and maintenanc­e for Newcrest Lihir Gold;

• HA classifica­tion and compliance to AS60079 for CS Energy’s Kogan Creek Power Station; and

• HV audits for MMG’s Dugald River mine. The company’s principals have more than 100 years’ experience in managing electrical risks and improving plant reliabilit­y.

Its staff work with clients to identify and troublesho­ot issues in safety, criticalit­y and compliance, and reducing unplanned outages and downtime so that they can focus more on their business.

With personnel exposure from all the major manufactur­ers, clients aren’t paying for their field staff to “learn on the job”.

Voltex is familiar with all types of electrical power equipment.

The company can provide accredited HV electrical auditors, hazardous area auditors (classifica­tion and design), and electrical engineerin­g managers (Qld Coal mines).

Voltex is committed to an organisati­onal culture of integrity in everything it does.

This means if it says it will do something, then it delivers on the promise.

Voltex core values are excellence in engineerin­g, candour in communicat­ion, and reliabilit­y in reporting.

By providing advice to clients on what they need to know, not what they might want to hear, Voltex proposes solutions to minimise risks, to people, property and profitabil­ity.
